Lucas Paquetá brings something rare to the Premier League — South American swagger with Premier League bite.

The Brazilian midfielder is at the heart of West Ham’s creativity, linking up with Bowen and Kudus to form a dangerous attacking trio. His no-look passes, quick turns, and cheeky flicks keep fans entertained and opponents off-balance.

But he’s not just flair. Paquetá also defends with intensity, often tracking back and winning duels in midfield. David Moyes has praised his work rate, noting how he’s added discipline to his natural flair.

He’s also building chemistry with new signings and seems more settled in his second season in England.

With each match, Paquetá is proving he’s not just a highlight-reel player — he’s a reliable playmaker who gives West Ham real personality.
